Body by Baby

Many of us feel embarrassed of our post baby bodies. Some of us are
surprised that we didn't snap right back to our pre-baby bodies. The
truth is, no matter how fast you bounce back to your pre-pregnancy
state, you will never be the same. Be it from stretch marks, wider hips,
sagging breasts, or just a new state of mind about your body, you are
now forever changed by the miracle that is childbirth.

So, because Gisele and all her friends
make it seem like stretchmarks don't happen, I started Body by Baby.
Stretchmarks do happen. So does saggy skin. And saggy boobs. And that is
ok. Because we are real women. Our bodies aren't perfect. But they
didn't get this way on their own. They got this way because we are
fucking awesome and CREATED A HUMAN IN THEM. What's a stretchmark or a
muffin top when we actually made life?

This is what a real woman's belly
looks like. This is what having beautiful babies does to a girl. And it
is awesome:

This is Danyell from The Medicated Mommy. She is 26 and the mom of Crystal who is 8, Jade who is 7, Shane who is 6 and Jubilation-Leigh who is 4-months-old.

Thanks, Danyell. You are the shit for sharing with us what we all hide from each other.
